Accumulating evidence has shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in several biological processes, including immune responses. However, the role of lncRNAs in antiviral innate immune responses remains largely elusive. Here, we identify an uncharacterized human lncRNA AVAN from influenza A virus (IAV) infected patients, that is significantly upregulated following RNA virus infection. During IAV infection, AVAN play an indispensable role in antiviral immune responses. In vivo, we enforced the expression of AVAN in transgenic mice or adeno-associated virus encoding AVAN delivery system and found that AVAN significantly alleviated IAV virulence and virus replication. Mechanistically, nuclear AVAN positively regulates the transcription of forkhead box O3A (FOXO3a) by associating with its promoter and inducing chromatin remodeling to promote neutrophil chemotaxis. Meanwhile, cytoplasmic AVAN binds directly to the E3 ligase TRIM25 and enhances TRIM25-mediated K63-linked ubiquitination of RIG-I, thereby promoting TRIM25- and RIG-I-mediated antiviral innate immune responses, including the induction of type I interferon and ISGs. Moreover, AVAN binds to the B Box/CCD domain of TRIM25 and 1–200nt of AVAN were the functional moieties. Collectively, our findings highlight the potential clinical implications of human lncRNA AVAN as a key positive regulator of the antiviral innate immune response and a promising target for developing broad antiviral therapeutics.

Liver cancer is a common malignant tumor in China, and is the second leading cause of death of malignant tumor. Although there are many traditional methods of treatment, there is no significant improvement in the rate of clinical cure. The aim of this paper is to generate a recombinant influenza virus and evaluate its effect of intracorporeal and extracorporeal lytic tumor. Using reverse genetics (RG) technology, recombinant plasmids pFlu-CTLA4-PB1 and pFlu-CTLA4-PA were constructed by inserting heavy and light chains of CTLA4 antibodies into PR8 virus PB1 and PA gene fragments. The remaining six plasmids PB2, HA, NP, NA, M, and NS of the PR8 virus were transferred to COS-I and MDCK cells. The obtained recombinant virus, named as rFlu-muCTLA4, was identified by hemagglutination test, EID50, PCR and other methods. ELISA was used to determine the anti-CTLA4 antibody content; MTS in vitro was carried out to determine the effect of recombinant virus on mouse liver cancer H22 cells; and mouse model of liver cancer was used to evaluate the effect of recombinant virus via tumor inhibition in vivo. Data showed that the PB1 and PA fragments of the recombinant virus are the same size as expected, and the hemagglutination titer of rFlu-muCTLA4 was 29 to 210. anti-CTLA4 antibodies could be detected in 2 days of virus inoculation of chicken embryo culture and reach a peak value in 4 days. In vitro experiments showed that rFlu-muCTLA4 could specifically kill H22 cells in dose-dependent manner.Animal experiments had shown that the recombinant virus could significantly reduce the tumor volume of liver cancer in mice, increase animal survival rate and extend survival time. The results show that recombinant influenza virus rFlu-muCTLA4 expressing the immune checkpoint CTLA4 antibody can target killing liver cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, has potential to provide a novel strategy for the targeted treatment of HCC.

Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) produced by the Staphylococcus aureus bacteriumis most commonly associated with food poisoning and is known to also cause toxic shock syndrome. Currently, no approved vaccine or specific drug is available to treat SEB intoxication. In this study, we fabricated dissolving microneedles (MNs) loaded with recombinant SEB (rSEB) protein, and evaluated its characteristics, including dissolution profile, protein particle size, insertion depth, antigen retention time in vivo, and skin irritation. Our results showed that rSEB protein-loaded dissolving MNs made of chondroitin sulfate (2%) and trehalose (0.8%) could easily penetrate into the mouse skin within 5 min. The rSEB particle size was unchanged before and after MN fabrication. The skin penetration depth of the MNs was 260 µm. Moreover, the MNs also significantly extended the antigen retention time in vivo. rSEB protein-loaded dissolving MNs also triggered slight erythema at the beginning of administration, but this erythema disappeared within a few hours. More importantly, we investigated the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of rSEB protein-loaded dissolving MNs. Challenge studies in mice revealed that mice in full-dose MN group had a high level of SEB specific antibody response thatprovided100% protection against a lethal SEB toxin challenge. However, there was only 60% protection observed in mice that were in the half-dose MN (dose sparing) group. We also determined the pathological alterations in the tissues of the immunized mice. Taken together, these dissolving MNs may present a promising transcutaneous immunization strategy for treating SEB intoxication.

Oncolytic virotherapy is a promising strategy for the treatment of cancer. Influenza A virus has shown potential as an oncolytic agent. In this study, a recombinant PR8 influenza viral vector, called delNS1-GM-CSF, was generated with a partial deletion in NS and the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) coding sequence inserted into the influenza nonstructural protein 1 gene. The morphological characteristics of delNS1-GM-CSF were examined. The delNS1-GM-CSF virus replicated well in various cell lines, including MDCK, A549, SMCC7721, and HepG2 cells. Moreover, selective cytotoxicity of the virus was observed in various hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines, while no effect was demonstrated in the normal liver cell line LO2, as indicated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and crystal violet assays. Importantly, using a model based on the growth of HepG2 cells as a xenograft in nude mice, it was found that a reassortant delNS1-GM-CSF virus inhibited tumor growth significantly following intratumoral injection in a dose-dependent manner. Ex vivo results showed that the tumor inhibition efficacy of delNS1-GM-CSF was observed in HCC clinical samples. Taken together, these results are the first to demonstrate that influenza A viruses may have potential as oncolytic virotherapeutic agents against HCC.

Influenza virus (IAV) infection is a major cause of severe respiratory illness that affects almost every country in the world. IAV infections result in respiratory illness and even acute lung injury and death, but the underlying mechanisms responsible for IAV pathogenesis have not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, the basic fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) level was markedly increased in H1N1 virus-infected humans and mice. FGF2, which is predominately derived from epithelial cells, recruits and activates neutrophils via the FGFR2-PI3K-AKT-NFκB signaling pathway. FGF2 depletion or knockout exacerbated influenza-associated disease by impairing neutrophil recruitment and activation. More importantly, administration of the recombinant FGF2 protein significantly alleviated the severity of IAV-induced lung injury and promoted the survival of IAV-infected mice. Based on the results from experiments in which neutrophils were depleted and adoptively transferred, FGF2 protected mice against IAV infection by recruiting neutrophils. Thus, FGF2 plays a critical role in preventing IAV-induced lung injury, and FGF2 is a promising potential therapeutic target during IAV infection.
Outbreaks of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), which is caused by Enterovirus 71 (EV71), have erupted in recent years. Andrographolide sulfonate (Trade name: Xiyanping injection) has been recommended to treat severe HFMD in China because of its conventional antithermic and antitoxic activities, but its actual mechanism has not been revealed clearly until now. To explore its therapeutic efficacy and mechanism, a Xiyanping injection treatment mouse model was established. Based on the therapeutic model, routine clinical parameters and histopathologic changes were investigated, in the same time, viral loads, immune cells, inflammatory molecules and cell signaling pathways were determined. Xiyanping injection treatment protected mice from lethal EV71 challenge in a therapeutic regimen-dependent manner, which may mostly depend on its direct immunomodulatory activities on neutrophil and T lymphocyte. Reduced inflammatory molecular production of neutrophil and elevated T lymphocyte activity may result from its marked inhibition of some signaling pathways. Taken together, Xiyanping injection was an effective treatment for severe HFMD by improving hosts' immunity.

To investigate the cause of piglets diarrhea,and the distribution of the serotype and virulence factors of swine Escherichia coli in Beijing,400 diarrhea samples were collected.TSA serum agar culture method was used to isolate Escherichia coli ,serotype identification test and virulence factor genes test were used to verify the presence of O-antigen.64 strains of E .coli were isolated from 400 diarrhea samples,among which 42 strains of E .coli were classified as 8 se-rotypes:O101(18.7%),O64(12.5%),O8 (10.9%),O20 (10.9%),O45 (4.7%),O149 (4.7%), O2(1.6%)and O89(1.6%),and the major virulence factors were STa,Stx2e,astA and eaeA. There were 8 mainly serotypes that caused piglets diarrhea in Beijing area,among which O101 se-rotype accounted for the highest proportion.The major virulence factors were astA and eaeA,ac-counted for more than 50% of all strains,STa and Stx2e accounted for more than 30% of all strains.These data would provide effective data to support the prevention and control of piglet di-arrhea in Beijing.
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) are the two major causative agents of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), which erupts in the Asia-Pacific regions. A bivalent vaccine against both EV71 and CVA16 is highly desirable. In the present study, on the bases that an experimental bivalent vaccine comprising of inactivated EV71 and CVA16 induces a balanced protective immunity against both EV71 and CVA16, we compare the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of one fourth of a full dose of an intradermal vaccine administered by needle-free liquid jet injector with a full dose of an intramuscular vaccine administered by needle-syringe in monkeys. The results suggest that intradermal injection of a fractional dose of an inactivated HFMD vaccine elicits similar immunogenicity and reactogenicity to intramuscular inoculation of a full dose of an Al(OH)3-adjuvanted vaccine, regardless of whether monovalent or bivalent vaccines were used. Our results support the use of an intradermal bivalent vaccine strategy for HFMD vaccination in order to satisfy the requirements and reduce the costs.
